No waste when you make this watermelon punch from a ripe organic watermelon and make a delicious sweet and sour pickle of the rind at the same time, and kimchi. The rind is half the weight of the melon, no need to throw away organic watermelon rinds, no pesticides.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
